On May 9th, Colorful's motherboards have been maturing in recent years, with improvements in appearance, materials, workmanship, performance, and BIOS. Recently, they have introduced the upgraded CVN Z790D5 ARK FROZEN motherboard, which is completely refreshed in terms of color scheme, materials, and expandability.
The Colorful iGame Z790 Aorus motherboard continues the family-style design of the CVN series with its distinctive rainbow logo and white color scheme. Drawing inspiration from the starry flagship, it introduces a titanium gray color scheme on the frost cooling armor of the power circuit and M.2 interface for the first time, elevating the overall texture to a new level.
Moreover, the power and cooling armor features a starship level and compass design, with angled air ducts inspired by the launch tracks of carrier-based aircraft, coupled with a 6mm heat pipe connection, enhancing both the intricate detailing and heat dissipation efficiency.
Additionally, the back of the 24-pin power interface is designed with a row of synchronized ARGB ambient lights, each with an independent switch.
The motherboard is equipped with up to 14+1+1 digital power phases, with each core power phase featuring a high-spec 90A three-in-one DrMOS. It also comes with chip tantalum polymer capacitors, a configuration exclusive to the flagship Z790, capable of effortlessly supporting the Intel Core i9 and overclocking.
All four DDR5 memory slots are reinforced with alloy, paired with 8-layer low-loss PCB material and thick gold-plated contacts, supporting a high frequency of dual-channel 7800MHz, with each slot accommodating up to 48GB for a maximum system capacity of 192GB.
Expansion slots include one PCIe 5.0 x16, one PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4 bandwidth), one PCIe 4.0 x4, and one PCIe 3.0 x1, offering a comprehensive selection.
There are four M.2 slots for hard drives, all supporting PCIe 4.0 x4, along with four SATA 6Gbps ports.
The array of expansion interfaces is extensive, featuring one HDMI 2.0, one DisplayPort 1.4, one USB-C 3.2 Gen2x2 20Gbps, three USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps, two USB 3.2 Gen1 5Gbps, four USB 2.0, one S/PDIF, five 3.5mm audio jacks (Realtek ALC1220 7-channel audio), one RJ-45 2.5G LAN port (Realtek RTL8125GB), two wireless antenna interfaces (Wi-Fi 6E).
Furthermore, this Ark motherboard has undergone deep optimization in BIOS functionality, supporting features like real-time memory parameter display, and overclocking preset saving for practical use.
The Colorful iGame Z790 Ark motherboard is priced at only 1599 yuan for its initial release, with a regular price of 1699 yuan.
